Correction, Vol.8, No. 12.Correction, Vol.8, No. 12 In the article, "Antimicrobial Resistance of Escherichia coli O26, O103, O111, O128, and O145 from Animals and Humans" by Carl M. Schroeder et al., errors occurred in the figure on page 1412. The corrected figure appears below and online at http:// www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol8no12/02-0070.htm. We regret any confusion these errors may have caused. Figure 2. Comparison of antimicrobial resistance frequencies between Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC STEC shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. ) and other E. coli. Of isolates from cattle, resistance frequencies were similar between STEC and other E. coli (A). In contrast, of isolates from humans, resistance frequencies were generally lower for STEC compared with other E. coli (B). Am, ampicillin; Cx, cefoxitin; C, chloramphenicol chloramphenicol (klōr'ămfĕn`əkŏl'), antibiotic effective against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (see Gram's stain). It was originally isolated from a species of Streptomyces bacteria. ; Frx, cefiriaxone; Smx, sulfamethoxazole sulfamethoxazole /sul·fa·meth·ox·a·zole/ (-meth-ok´sah-zol) a sulfonamideantibacterial and antiprotozoal, particularly used in acute urinary tract infections. sul·fa·me·thox·a·zole n. ; Cf, cephalothin cephalothin a first generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Sensitive organisms include many penicillin-resistant staphylococci. cephalothin Cefalotin® Infectious disease A parenteral semisynthetic derivative of cephalosporin C, and 3 ; Gm, gentamicin gentamicin /gen·ta·mi·cin/ (jen?tah-mi´sin) an aminoglycoside antibiotic complex isolated from bacteria of the genus Micromonospora, ; NA, nalidixic acid; Cip, ciprofloxacin; Fur, ceftiofur; Te, tetracycline; T/S, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; A/C, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid; Str, streptomycin.
